  • Publication number: 20240159027
    Abstract: A faucet includes a faucet body and a faucet spray head being movable from a retracted position adjacent the faucet body, and an extended position away from the faucet body. In the retracted position, the faucet spray head has at least one aligned position with the faucet body. The faucet includes an alignment coupling. The alignment coupling includes first and second alignment elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively, to align the spray head with the faucet body. The faucet includes a retention coupling that is configured to retain the faucet body and the faucet spray head immediately adjacent one another. The retention coupling includes first and second retention elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively. The retention coupling is separate from the alignment coupling, and at least one of the first or second retention elements is a magnet.

  • Publication number: 20230305087
    Abstract: An insert for an EPR probehead is disclosed. The insert comprises a directional coupler and an amplifier. The directional coupler receives microwave power from a source at a first port and transfers a portion of the received microwave power to a second port for transmission to a sample space. The directional coupler is also arranged to receive a microwave signal from the sample space at the second port and to pass the majority of the received microwave signal to a third port. The amplifier has an input and an output; the input is arranged to receive the microwave signal from the third port of the directional coupler and to produce an amplified version of the received microwave signal at the output for transmission to a detector.

  • Publication number: 20220031410
    Abstract: A surgical system includes a surgical robot with an end effector that supports a drive assembly, a manual interface, and a trigger assembly. A cutting tool is attached to the drive assembly and rotatable about a cutting axis. A method includes positioning, with the surgical robot, the cutting tool relative to a surgical site to align the cutting axis with a predetermined trajectory. A user engages the trigger assembly for rotating the cutting tool about the cutting axis with the drive assembly and advancing the cutting tool along the predetermined trajectory at the surgical site to a first depth. A user applies force to the manual interface for rotating the cutting tool about the cutting axis and advancing the cutting tool along the predetermined trajectory to a second depth greater than the first depth.

  • Patent number: 11160620
    Abstract: End effectors for driving tools at surgical sites along trajectories maintained by surgical robots. A tool has interface and working ends. An end effector has a mount to attach to the surgical robot, and an actuator configured to generate torque. A drive assembly with a geartrain translates rotation from the actuator into rotation of a drive conduit supported about an axis. A rotational lock operatively attached to the drive conduit releasably secures the tool for concurrent rotation about the axis, and an axial lock releasably secures the tool for concurrent translation with the drive conduit along the trajectory maintained by the surgical robot. The axial lock is operable between a release configuration where relative movement between the drive assembly and the tool is permitted along the axis, and a lock configuration where relative movement between the drive assembly and the tool is restricted along the axis.
